BARNARD MANURE.

Now. in regard to barnyard manure, it
strikes me that there is not too much em-
phasis to be put upon the fact that YOU
cannot get all the elements the first year.
The percentage is about one-half per cent.
of nitrogen, one-half per cent. of potash.
You cannot always lind what the crop
wants OF these elements without giving il
too much. Crops need different amounts
of food. 1t is not necessary to go the
whole length of the Stockbridge theory in
order to admit this. Some need more am
nonia, and some more potash. use the
words ammonia and nitrogen interchange
ably. They are about the same thing. ex-
cept that ammonia has one-half per cent.
of nitrogen, so that in ammonia there is
cne-fifth more of plant food than there Is 10
be obtained in nitrogen. Therefore l say
that, if you want to feed a crop great deal
OF nitrogen. you must put on great deal
more phosphoric acid and potash in barn
manure than you want in order to get
enough of potash. There is one weakness
in the barnyard manure. You have to get
a great deal more of one element in order
to get enough of another. 1t would be ike
ordering the same proportions of materials
for building different kinds of houses 1t
would be like having so many boards and
bricks to build wooden house, where you
want the bricks for nothing but chimneys
az for brick house. The wise man will
see that be hss bricks and boards for each

WORK STOPPED

On the Grandest Mansion In New
England-A Towns Excitement.
| A large number of New Haven people have
seen at one time or another the magnificent
| mansion of Mrs. Hopkins at Great Barring
| ton, Mass, which has already cost a cool
| million of dollars and is yet far from compile
ton. Mrs. Hopkins chose to build it in
Great Darlington as it was her native place,
and the mansion stands on the paternal acres
which she inherited. Her husband, who
died few years ago, won his millions in
company with G. P. Huntington, Mr.. Stan
ford and others in the building of the Gen.
trail Pacific railroad and in other enterprises.
Mr.. Huntington is the railroad magnate
through whose generosity Torrington, Conn,
his birthplace, now has its beautiful $50, 900
memorial chapel, which was dedicated with
appropriate ceremonies a few days ago, Rev
Mr.. Meserve OF this city preaching the SER
mon. The Pitts6eld Sun has column article
on the cessation of work on the Hopkins
mansion and the CONSERVATION produced
thereby in Great Darlington, together with
the theories current in the place explanatory
of the abandonment or cessation of the work.
The Sun, after stating the absence of any
thing authoritative in explanation, proceeds
to give as public journal the best facts at
tainable regarding matter of such towering
public Importance in the place. The paper
says that Mrs. Hopkins had planned to
spend no more than a million in building
the mansion and that that sum
has already been expended and there is
years work of the most expensive sort yet to
be done. She has become appalled, at the
cost and impatient over the delay Exteriorly
the house is practically done, but of the in
teGior only the attic and story below are fin
ished, the next story partly done and the
main floor all yet to be completed. Only
those who have been in this magnificent
mansion can understand fully what this
means. The plans call for work that is as
dear, weight for weight, as gold, in stucco
and tile and moulding and marble beyond
description. The magnifcence in finish is
all yet to be done, and beyond that still the
furnishing. No wonder there is said to be
dismay at the outlay and despair of ever
reaching completion. And some argue
that the work is to take a rest and then be
put into new and, it is hoped, more pushing
and energetic progress.
Other reasons floating about are that the
foundations of the mansion are not what
they should be, and that the halt is called to
devise plans to strengthen them and make
them secure; while others hold that malaria
is threatened from the costly new sewer which
the town is to build. Altogether our Great
Darlington friends appear to be in peck of
trouble over the affair, and perhaps the true
solution of the halt is yet to come and with
it resumption of work upon the edi6ce SO
grand and so beautiful, transcending in cost
and prospective elegance any other New En-
gland palace.

rwENTY.THaRD ANNr1A,

OF the New Haven West Conference
Held at the College Street Church
YesterdaY-The Discussion ON Varf-
GUS subjects.
The session of the New Haven West con-
ference of Congregational churches opened
at 9:45 o'clock yesterday morning at the Col
lege street church. It was the conferences
twenty third annual meeting.
The Rev. DIR. Newman Smyth was unani-
mously chosen moderator. Reports were
called for from the various churches and
favorable responses were made. A brief de-
votiona1 service was held conducted by the
Rev Mr.. Calhoun of Milford
The sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr.
Harris of Yale university. He took for his
text, John xiv, 4, s, 0, illustrating the para
BILE of the vine and the branches. The
preacher said that in this parable our Saviour
illustrates the doctrine of salvation by faith.
The principles underlying this doctrine are
very broad. There can be no salvation with
out reception and production. There is no
production without previous reception. We
are dependent on each other. In the spiritual
life, as elsewhere, we live by being loved.
Faith is the receptive action Of the soul AS
such it is inceptive love, trusting God. Sin
God. The branch cannot live without the
vine. By Gods grace we are enabled to re-
turn to him and be saved by faith.
/ At the noon hour collation. was served in
the church parlor by the ladies of the church.

ject of the prayer meeting, with the topics

First heat-Cypress and Mollie Mitchell
were the favorites. Lottie A. had the pole.
All got good start but May w. who during
the whole race did herself proud ,insomuch as
she did more than was possibly expected of
her. At the half Mollie was six lengths
ahead of Princess, and came in an easy win
ner with Cypress second.
Second health the pools Mollie brought
$40 and the field SO. Mollie took the lead,
but she broke and could not be brought to
her feet until she had fallen behind all the
others. She was SO far behind that she could
not possibly catch up. She finished last,
while Cypress came in first with May W.
second.
Third heat-Cypress now brought $50 and
the field ST. After the first turn was made
Mollie passed Princess and Cypress, the lat
ter having the lead. Mo1lie pulled away Eve
lengths in the lead and finished an! easy
winner. May W. pulled up from the rear,
having been started several lengths behind
all the others, to second place.
Fourth heat-Mollie now brought $50 and
the field 81. The former had the lead, but
broke and at the quarter was passed by all
except Lottie. Cypress got such lead that
she could not be overtaken. Mollie finished
third.
As it was too dark to finish the race it was
postponed until 1890 to-day. There will
also be the 1855 and the frse-for-all classes.
